These roses are the first blooms of the season! Most of the roses are full of buds and if they are not decimated by the winds scheduled for next week, I will have many blooms from roses old and new to share!

Nigrette
The dark red bloom color of this rose reminds me of Oklahoma, but with a little less purple. I have owned this little rose bush for less than a year, and am impressed with its health and vigor.

Blue Girl
Blue Girl Rose has beautiful bluish lavender blooms and healthy dark green leaves. If it makes it through my summer this rose will definitely be a keeper! I contemplated purchasing Stainless Steel, but selected Blue Girl because it is a soft lavender versus a grayish lavender.

South Africa
This rose has been on the to shovel prune for two years now. I am just not that fond of yellow. It is planted in my "box of crayola" colored roses, because I am finding I still gravitate toward cooler soothing colors. South Africa, is cheery and definitely not a soothing yellow coloring. It is also a thrip magnet!!!
